[Consume Evolution Points to absorb?] Yu Zi Yu froze, slightly stunning.

But after a moment, feeling the mysterious power in the air, Yu Zi Yu no longer hesitated and gave his confirmation in a deep voice, “Absorb.”

Just as Yu Zi Yu gave his confirmation, he suddenly discovered that the Evolution Points were depleting at a visible pace.

10,000…

20,000…

…

50,000…

In just a short moment, almost 100,000 Evolution Points had been depleted.

Furthermore, this rate of depletion was accelerating.

But along with this, a mysterious Force was seeping Yu Zi Yu’s body.

It was an extremely strange force.

Indescribable and incomprehensible.

Feeling this Force, Yu Zi Yu could not help but be slightly shocked.

That indescribable marvel and vastness made Yu Zi Yu how small he was in this world.

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu pulled up his status screen, and witnessed a line of fuzzy words slowly forming in the Innate Talent column. Furthermore, these words were actually radiating a colorful radiance.

Just one look at it gave a mysterious feeling.    ​​

Innate Talent: Instant(0.01) — Consuming a million Spiritual Energy, you can freeze time for a breath. Your current comprehension is less than one-thousandth.

Staring at the status screen in amazement, at this extra line, Yu Zi Yu fell into silence. [Did I just obtain the Innate Talent of the Fleeting Moment Flower? No, this still could not be considered as obtaining it, it could only be considered as a possibility at best].

In just a dozen breaths, Yu Zi Yu had already consumed hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Energy. 

Meanwhile, the Spirit Flower rooted on Yu Zi Yu’s canopy seemed to have weakened significantly, as if she had lost vitality.

“Are you okay?” Expressing his rare concern, the tip of one of Yu Zi Yu’s branch snapped with a crack.

As a drop of rich Life Essence fell, the aura of the Five-Color Spirit Flower gradually began to recover.

“I’m okay, I’m okay,” the Five-Color Spirit Flower assured again and again, her voice filled with excitement.

After a moment, she stared closely at Yu Zi Yu and earnestly asked, “Does this satisfy your cultivation needs?”

“Erm…” Yu Zi Yu was slightly stunned, but hearing the sincere tone of the Five-Color Spirit Flower, Yu Zi Yu admitted with a nod, “It does.”

“That’s great.” As if heaving a sigh of relief, the Five-Color Spirit Flower paused before speaking again, “If this can’t satisfy you, then this Miss is really powerless.”

“Hmm… what did you just do?” Glancing at the fuzzy Innate Talent that had appeared on the status screen, albeit just one-thousandth of the original, Yu Zi Yu could not help but ask.

“Gather Spiritual Energy!” As she spoke, the Five-Color Spirit Flower grinned, proudly adding, “This Miss just used the Quintessence to gather Spiritual Energy for you. Although it may deplete a bit of my Quintessence, it’s not going to leave a significant impact on me. I’ll recover it after resting for a while, and besides, you gave me this precious essence too.”

As she spoke, the Five-Color Spirit Flower’s petal held up the vibrant green drop, gently swaying left and right.

She appeared to be dancing in joy and excitement.

“Alright then…” After a long silence, Yu Zi Yu looked at this somewhat innocent girl and sighed imperceptibly.

[If my guess is right, what she just activated must be her Innate Talent!]

Although he did not know how she activated it, it was indeed crucial for Yu Zi Yu. Because just now, he used Evolution Points to forcefully comprehend the Five-Color Spirit Flower’s Innate Talent–Instant.

Although it came at a substantial cost, over a hundred thousand Evolution Points, compared to the gains, this amount of Evolution Points was really negligible.

[Now, the comprehension of Instant has only reached one-thousandth, if I continued like this… After one year… two years… what about after ten years… Maybe one day, I would be able to master this terrifying Innate Talent.]

It should be brought to notice that the Five-Color Spirit Flower’s Innate Talent—Instant, was recognized by the System as a top-tier Innate Talent.

If he could completely master it, not to mention other benefits, just the qualitative enhancement of Yu Zi Yu’s combat power would be substantial.

And this was not including the boost to the potential and foundation brought by an additional Innate Talent…

Thinking of this, Yu Zi Yu felt a bit excited. Now, when he looked at the Five-Color Spirit Flower, his gaze also carried a hint of inexplicable intentions.

At this moment, as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s strange gaze, the Five-Color Spirit Flower trembled slightly.

After a moment, she looked at Yu Zi Yu with some surprise and asked, “Is something wrong?”

“No, no,” Yu Zi Yu responded with a smile, putting on a nonchalant expression.

However, at this moment, as if thinking of something, Yu Zi Yu’s branch snapped with a crack once more.

The next moment, much to the astonishment of the five-colore Spirit Flower, another drop of Life Essence fell on her petals.

“This is my Life Essence. In the future, you can receive one or two drops every day…”

“Really?” Hearing this, the Five-Color Spirit Flower’s voice was filled with excitement.

“Of course.” Nodding, Yu Zi Yu added with a smile, “Not only that, but your share of Misty Mountains’ Spirit Flowers will be increased to two-fifths.”

“Erm…” So many sudden changes not only came as a pleasant surprise but also gave her quite a bit of shock.

Apparently, the Five-Color Spirit Flower was startled by Yu Zi Yu’s sudden generosity.

However, sensing the sudden uneasiness of the Five-Color Spirit Flower, Yu Zi Yu did not hide his intentions and straightforwardly explained, “In the future, can you help me in cultivating, like you did today? Of course, under the premise that it should not hurt your vitality…”

In this rare moment of apprehension, Yu Zi Yu felt like one of those losers confessing to a Goddess…

This feeling was quite uncomfortable. It was a mixture of hesitation and anxiety.

It was hard to explain, but Yu Zi Yu really did not like this feeling.

If it were not for the fact that he could not force this matter, Yu Zi Yu would not have gone through all this trouble.

…

Just when Yu Zi Yu was reeling from his complicated mood, a sudden laughter rang in his mind.

“That’s it? So simple.” Dropping these words, the Five-Color Spirit Flower suddenly smiled mischievously and half-jokingly asked, “Divine Tree, were you making a request to me earlier?”

“Requesting to you?” Stunned for a moment, Yu Zi Yu gave it a serious thought and denied decisively without hesitation, “How is that possible? This is just some kind of trade between us, a very fair trade.”

“Alright.” With a mischievous smile, the Five-Color Spirit Flower quieted down.

However, faintly, Yu Zi Yu could always hear faint chuckles.

[This girl…] Amidst a sense of helplessness, Yu Zi Yu genuinely breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he felt that development of his Innate Talent—Instant was no longer out of reach.

With the cooperation of the Five-Color Spirit Flower and Evolution Points, he just needed some time to master this terrifying Innate Talent.

As for the long time it would take, Yu Zi Yu did not mind at all.

The current him had plenty of time.
